Author's Note:
This mod is more or less compatible with 2.04, except for some bugs with decisions and CBs, most likely due to the updates SoA brought. I'm rather pressed for time to work on this mod to fully update it, so anybody is welcome to take a crack at doing so.

So gonna play the hell out of this! (and then wait untill the Aztecs appear and strangle them with my beard!)

 

[Zaldax]

I love these invasion mods! Downloading now!

 

[Lord Finnish]

Unique idea. Looks fun!

 

[tsf4]

This seems awesome! I am getting ready to try it out with vanilla and title generator. How strong are they?

 

[Extradaemon]

Isn't it 'Gallic', not 'Gaulish'?

 

[superskierpat]

Haha this is awesome, feel free to take any flavor events you want from Ancient Religions, a lot of the events are based on brythonic or gaelic lore, but the divination and holy order events should probably be fine.

 

[Necal]

Isn't it 'Gallic', not 'Gaulish'?

Both are correct; Gallic and Gaulish both refer to the Gauls/Gaul area/Things relating to the word "Gaul". You might be confusing it with "Gaelic", which refers to Ireland and some of Scotland.

They have the same number of troops the Seljuks start out with, about 35 000. I've changed the composition though, so you won't get stomped by horse archers

Yeah. Celtic, Gaulish and Gallic are all variations of exactly the same word, referring to a specific group of peoples in what is today the middle band of France

Thank you

I realised how little information there was on specific Gaulish customs, so I'll probably have to nick a few of yours

(in fact, you might recall me asking if you were planning on adding Gaulish paganism )

I've just tried this mod and something seems to be wrong- when I force peace on French king, lands of Aquitaine become mine for a second and then they become fractured (every single province/duchy becomes independent).

BTW- How about creating Roman invasion mod?

Yeah... I just tested it and you're right. Something's wrong with my CB.

I checked to see if it worked with a King of Aquitaine, and it does work.

Otherwise, since you're starting past 867 and I'm not sure when I'll be able to fix this, use the other events file as per the OP

I guess that problem is with fact that Vercingetorix has 0 directly controlled provinces after victory. Maybe winning Aquitaine could give all provinces of different religion to him? I'm getting claims on every holding in Aquitaine nonetheless.

Ahh yes I do! Well if you develop an interesting gaulish religion here, I would not be opposed to adding it in ACR xD (I just want to keep my efforts on more varied religions.)

 

[Baalshazar]

Hope this stays updated, used, and eventually can be converted to EU, also, sadly, I think Viet is incompatible, so while it's in my game it can't be used, good luck and I hope there is an invasion from the north eventually even if it's fictional. Subscribed.

 

[Lordrac]

Seems nice, but can you create a compatch for Ck2+? =D

 

[superskierpat]

Heres an idea for flavor; Most of the Gauls believed they were descended from Dis Pater (Sucellus, Donn, Beli Mawr, take your pick), It could be interesting for the leader of this invasion to have a bloodline trait claiming that he is a direct descendent of this god.

 

[JJDXB]

I do have plans to update this mod. I've experience a little hurdle over the last few weeks, a problem by the name of Dragon Age. It's only the tip of the iceberg though; I think my interest in CK2 has begun to wane a bit after almost 1800 hours of play...

Thanks, I'll add that to my to do list. :happy:

Don't worry friend, don't force it, it will come back, it always does.

 

[Truewhit]

There needs to be a magic potion event, plus a chance for druids being named "Getafix".

I've just gotten straight back into it after taking a couple months break myself
